I was told weeks ago that the club were happy to sell VVD. The man (VVD) is an absolute c*nt. But it is a bitter pill after the sh*t that has come out of Krueger's mouth.

I wouldn't even consider selling the c*nt until he puts a transfer request in.

Has Delph gone anywhere yet?

Definitely worth a gamble for that money. He is a quality footballer when fit.

I'm sick of people who probably can't kick a ball talking about false 10's, floating centre-backs, and some Carlos Kickaball nobody has ever heard of, but is a 20 on Football F*cking Manager. Football isn't complicated. Get the spine right, with a bit of pace down the wings, and you'll be alright. Sorry it's not trendy, but then I don't wear skinny jeans and I haven't got a beard down to my b*llocks.

All these people knocking Austin make me laugh. He knows how to put the ball in the onion bag. Simple. You can talk about your FM formations as much as you like. At the end of the day, all good sides have a mean horrible b@stard at the back, a midfielder who can tackle and run all day long, some pace down the lines, and someone who knows how to put the ball in the onion bag. It's a simple game sometimes made complicated.

Dfference is, you had a 4 week notice period in your contract. VVD doesn't, and was happy to sign it.

Every Premier League club has a 'black box'. We're not anything special in that regard.

Cheated.

Very well reasoned post.

The longer we don't press this issue with the FA, the more I think we'll sell him.

Exactly what I was thinking. Better to buy players who you know will improve your team, than settle for the lottery of Juanmi/ Gardos type signings.

This does have a whiff of cheapskate Saints in my opinion. Still, might be a load of rubbish to be fair.

I got the impression that the few on here that supported Puel no matter what, blamed Black for anything bad, to deflect from Claude.

We didn't sell Toby.

I thought he was brilliant in Mork and Mindy.

Well said.

Ha ha, brilliant, coming from someone who wrote the book on talking sh*te.

Read up on the Spanish experts and how Alaves played. He prefers a pressing game, and unlike Puel, will tailor his tactics depending on the opposition. F*ck me, it's like saying if Allardyce became our manager how do you know he'll play hoofball until we've played a match. Coaches preferred tactics are in their DNA. It's not rocket science.

I'm sorry you can't come to terms with the sacking of Puel. Give the Samaritans a call.

Fair play to Les Reed. He's got rid of a very unpopular manager. Recruited one who likes to play the sort of football we all love to watch. He has clearly stated that our top players aren't going to be sold this Summer. Good enough for me.

Can't see us selling Bertrand and keeping VVD.

Wonder if Sammy Lee might come back?

I doubt it.
